Joseph "Joe" Dunphy (born 1944) is an Irish retired hurler who played as a right corner-forward for the Kilkenny senior team.
Born in Waterford, Dunphy first arrived on the inter-county scene at the age of seventeen when he first linked up with the Kilkenny minor team, before later joining the under-21 side. He joined the senior panel after the 1964 championship. Dunphy immediately became a regular member of the starting fifteen, and won one Leinster medal and one National Hurling League medal. He was an All-Ireland runner-up on one occasion.
As a member of the Leinster inter-provincial team on a number of occasions Dunphy won one Railway Cup medal as a non-playing substitute. At club level he is a one-time championship medallist with Mooncoin.
Dunphy's father, Eddie, his uncles, Joe, William and Wattie, and his brother, Dick, all played for Kilkenny at different stages.
Throughout his career Dunphy made 5 championship appearances. He retired from inter-county hurling following the conclusion of the 1967 championship.
In retirement from playing Dunphy became involved in team management and coaching. He was a selector with the Kilkenny All-Ireland-winning minor team in 2003.
After a glittering underage career that yielded four minor championship medals in five years, Dunphy was still eligible for the minor team when he was added to the Mooncoin junior team in 1961. A huge 4–11 to 2–2 defeat of Coon gave him a championship medal in that grade.
